7 ice cream makers I recommend this Prime Day — starting with 31% off the one in my kitchen

The largest and most capable in the Ninja Creami lineup is the Scoop & Swirl, which lets you attach your pints to a soft-serve dispenser and pour yourself a fun frozen treat. The machine offers 13 one-touch programs, including six dedicated soft-serve settings, making it ideal for soft-serve connoisseurs.

I tested GreenPan's Soft Serve & Frozen Drinks Maker earlier this year and made ice cream in 30 minutes, without the hassle of pre-freezing. It comes with a large 2-quart bowl and offers 6 modes and 7 texture settings — everything you need to make soft serve ice cream, slushies, milkshakes, and smoothies.

Enjoy your frozen treats in 30 minutes with the Chefman 3-in-1 ice cream, frozen yogurt and ice maker. Make up to one pint of ice cream in the stainless steel buckets that sit inside the candy-colored machine. It’s available in aqua, pistachio, lavender and butter, and is pretty enough to keep on your countertop.

The Ninja Creami lets you make delicious frozen desserts from the comfort of your home — and we're not just talking about ice cream. This 7-in-1 machine can whip up sorbet, milkshakes and more with little to no prep and $50 off, so don't delay. What's more, it gained a 4-star rating in our review.

This attractive Black & Decker frozen treat maker has a small footprint and won’t look out of place on your countertop. It has 6 one-touch functions, from ice cream to sorbet, and gives you total control over what goes into your sweet treats. Plus, it's easy to clean, and all removable parts are dishwasher-safe. With a 24% saving this Prime Day, it's a great buy.

Cuisinart's Ice Cream Maker doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some other brands, but it’s a solid machine. The ice cream, yogurt and sorbet maker has a large-capacity 2-quart bowl and can create frozen treats in 30 minutes. At just under $100, it’s wallet-friendly, and now it’s even a better buy with a 20% discount.

I love the clever concept of these single-serving ice cream mugs — they're ideal for quick treats and guaranteed to be a huge hit with kids who want to customize their own toppings. The process is simple: freeze the mugs for 24–48 hours, chill your ingredients for 2 hours, then pour them through the chute to churn for 20 minutes. You can dig in immediately or pop the mug back in the freezer for 3–4 hours if you prefer a firmer texture.
